    Okay fair enough, thanks for explaining that.

    Last one, is there any way to hide “In” autocompletes and only show “Near” autocompletes?

    If you turn the autocompleter off, then all searches will be NEAR searches.
    Thanks

    Yep understood, but there’s no way to only show NEAR autocomplete and not IN autocomplete?

    Hi Andrew,

    There is currently no way to do that, this was done for a few reasons. A NEAR search is always ordered by distance to the center point but a IN search can have different ordering and for example show featured first (where a NEAR search can’t).

    Also with google implementing billing for API requests our system will only do a search if it fails to find any info in the site database first.

    If after that info its still something you would like then we would need to look into adding an option as its not possible currently.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
